Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins aren't promised a playoff spot yet, but if they keep having more weeks like their most recent one, the letter "X" should appear by their name before the calendar turns to April. In a four-game week that featured two matchups against a team that's chasing them, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and meetings with the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins, the Penguins had a chance to inch closer to a playoff berth, and they did their part, collecting six of a possible eight points. Their week started on Tuesday night at home against the Panthers in a tight game that required overtime. In the extra frame, Jake Guentzel fought off Mike Matheson to retrieve Sidney Crosby's flip pass and put it by the sprawling Roberto Luongo to lift the Penguins over the Panthers by a 3-2 score. Thursday night was when the stakes got higher, though. It was the first of a home-and-home against the Blue Jackets, and the team showed up. Led by goals from Phil Kessel, Nick...

Since breaking into the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2015-16 and leading them to their fourth Stanley Cup championship, in the absence of Marc-Andre Fleury, Matt Murray has been both praised and ridiculed. Most of the praise is deserved - how many NHL players can say they hoisted their second Stanley Cup in their rookie season? - and much of the ridicule stems from the fact that Murray is not Fleury, and approaches the game in his own way, different than what modern-day fans have grown to expect in the Penguins’ crease. https://twitter.com/penguins/status/1104858851772432385 But, with just one year left on his contract, and a tight race for the Penguins' 13th-consecutive playoff appearance, it’s time to ask the tough question: Can the Penguins rely on Murray in the long run? Murray’s Contract Situation In October 2016, following the franchise's fourth Stanley Cup victory, spearheaded by Murray who started 21 of the team’s 24 playoff games and tallied 15 wins,...

Pittsburgh Penguins

On Feb. 23, the Pittsburgh Penguins faced the Philadelphia Flyers at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, as part of the 2019 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series. Toward the end of the first period, Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds (who has since been traded to the Nashville Predators) leveled Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin with a high hit and he immediately went down holding his head. In the ensuing scrum, Kris Letang (who had been having arguably the best season of his career) got into a wrestling match with Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and was also injured. In a matter of two minutes, it appeared the Penguins' season might be over. To further sadden the situation, the Penguins would blow a late third-period lead and eventually lose 4-3 in overtime. Already without Olli Maatta, they were now down three of their top four blueliners and hardly holding onto a playoff spot. The next game, Chad Ruhwedel was injured. At the 2019 Trade Deadline,...
